Thermochemical conversion of aquatic weed biomass in a rotary kiln reactor for production of bio-based derivatives

Quantification of the composition of pyrolysis oils of complex plastic waste by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer detector

“…Concerning quantitative composition of pyrolysis oils, during all these years the scientic community has normally used the "peak area percent" as the standard indicator for composition when using GC-MS. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] However, the area percentage does not provide real information on the amount, because the signal intensity is not directly proportional to the concentration. Indeed, aspects such as the molecular weight of the species, the polarity, the selected chromatographic column, the volatility and the temperature inuence the signal obtained.…”

Synthesis and Mechanical Performances of Polyurethane Bio-Based Adhesives Resulted from the Depolymerization of Lignocellulose Biomass

“…Biomass is the main renewable energy source in the European Union (EU) for cleaner and more effective energy plans in the short and long terms (2030 and 2050). − Therefore, the necessity for new biomass processing strategies and EU REACH compliant policies prompted researchers to develop more innovative bio-based products. , …”

“…6−8 Therefore, the necessity for new biomass processing strategies and EU REACH compliant policies prompted researchers to develop more innovative bio-based products. 9,10 The need to get independent from the fossil resources led to the development of different strategies for lignocellulose biomass processing, such as extrusion, sonication, milling, steam explosion, ammonia explosion, supercritical CO 2 explosion, organosolv, ozonolysis, hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, alkali or acid pretreatment, oxidation, ionic liquid, and microwave-assisted methods. 11−13 The abundance of lignin in nature and its distinctive structure, which is based on electron-rich aromatic rings, have drawn interest in a range of chemical techniques for its decomposition into smaller compounds.…”
